lifeisadream: When I read about this Extreme-Free-fall for the first time a question came to my mind:Why to do it?
When I did started this thread it was my intention to ask people if they would do something where -they place their life at risk- and why they would do it.Are there more men than women doing such risky sports?
Are men braver than women?
or maybe just trying to prove to themselves that they are not a Coward!When I did started this thread it was my intention to ask people if they would do something where -they place their life at risk- and why they would do it.Are there more men than women doing such risky sports?
Are men braver than women?
Maybe so much Fear of Existence that only a constant Rush of Adrenalin can alleviate?

It is non-sense but here I have my family and friends and the love for my country can not be erased because of the actual risky living conditions.

RayfromUSA: When you jump out of a plane, you can't blame God for "letting you down".
How do you know what Felix's God is capable of or not capable of?

This is even got NASA's attention. That being sad, if it were not for those willing to take risks and sometimes make the ultimate sacrafice we wouldnt have a lot of what we have today, especially FREEDOM! GO FELIX!!! You are a true Statesman. God Bless you.

Nah. This task is less dangerous than a lot of them that are done everyday on bikes, free climbing and all however, takes a lot of team work to accomplish it given the equipment required to take him to space capsule reentry heights. Just having Kittenger (whom I've met back in the mid eighties) on his team says a lot about the actual scientific aspect of it and downplays the actual adrenalin aspect as he is completing what part of Joe set out to do in the sixties.

Dangerous enough:
I wouldn't post the video for obvious reasons.

"Skydiver Felix Baumgartner will fall from near-space about 23 miles above the Earth’s surface, breaking the speed of sound in the process.
He will be the first free-falling human to break the sound barrier.
Baumgartner will also collect three other world records:
Highest manned balloon flight,
Highest altitude jump (both will be 120,000 feet) and
Longest time in free fall (about five-and-a-half minutes)...."

He just did it! Over seven hundred miles per hour in about thirty five seconds.

Felix Baumgartner DID IT!!!

And on the ground safe. Highest balloon flight, highest jump but didn't break the longest freefall record as Kittenger still holds that. Waiting to see if he broke the speed of sound.

Why to do it?
When I did started this thread it was my intention to ask people if they would do something where -they place their life at risk- and why they would do it.
Are there more men than women doing such risky sports?
Are men braver than women?
